Lower bracket where to cables attack in which the window sits in broke of on one side. Then it kinked the cable assembly. Ordered new bracket and cable assembly but 1.) can't figure out how to remove old bracket from the guide and install the new one. 2.) Can't figure out how to remove the cable guides that also fit in the guide of the window frame. 3.) Can't figure out how to remove sliding window from frame.
Has anyone had a broken this same thing, what was your fix?
I just checked my service manual that covers '06 . It only has info on stationary glass . Nothing for sliding rear window . I'll continue to look around and see if I can find any info for ya .
Thank you, i appreciate you looking, i don't mind paying for parts, but it kills me to pay for labor because hourly rates are so ridiculous when i know i could do almost anything myself. This one has me stumped though. I can't imagine having to pull the whole entire rear window for this. And if you do, then i am dissappointed in Dodge for the first time.
When i ordered the parts from the dealership, i talked to service and that is exactly what the dealerships do, is out source to a glass shop. They gave me a number of the place they use. Going to check that route first, then is it leaks after install, i can have them fix it, if the price is right.
Ask and you shall recieve . Sometimes I even scare myself . Hope this helps ya out . One more thing , make sure you stop by the newbie section and introduce yourself . Thanks . Tom
The followup: Took to a glass company (Allstar glass). I first removed all interferances. Cost me a $100 bucks in labor for a 30 minute job, but worth it. They pryed the channel apart and pulled out the slider bracket and cable bracket and replaced. $180 bucks in parts which i supplied to them. Total of $280 spent compared to $1,200 for a new rear glass assembly, ouch
So they replaced the sliding rear window without removing the entire rear window assembly from truck frame ? How did they fit the glass in there, did the frame expand on top or bottom a bit to allow the center glass to slide into the channel ? Or did they puish the glass UP to top first, then let it slide DOWN into the channel ?
Where did you order the center sliding glass part from ?
I am in the same boat here. Mine broke today. the clip where the cable connects to the glass on the open side broke. at least it still closes. Do we have part numbers for the bottom of the slider glass?
Ok I replaced the slider. By pushing and lifting cable holders towards the C pillar. then sliding the slider toward one of the C pillars lifting slider out of the track on side closest to C pillar then sliding towards other C pillar then lifting slider completely out. Installed in reverse order.
No prying needed as stated in earlier post.
